    It's so good. Line moves faster than you'd think. Highly recommend as this is a must have, and a stale on Purdue's campus for late night booze food.

    Overpriced food with poor quality. Forgot my sauces, and the chicken was dry. Wouldnt recommend unless you're desperate.

    No place better for a late night snack! If you are hesitant, understandably, just try it! You will not be disappointed.

    We had problem finding the place, any idea where is it and if it opens in June?

    Right across the street from Harry's Chocolate shop on Pierce St. Limited hours in the summer due to Purdue being out, keep in touch with Facebook page for hours

    My favorite is the Fat Boy- hotdog bun with fries, mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers, ranch and pizza sauce.

    EMT Foodtruck - Love the fries I got there a while back. And any of their chipotle sauces are to die for.

    SUPER local food truck and proud of it! I bookmarked their page a while back, and it's actually…read morequite interesting. I'm not vegan or vegetarian in the least, but I've bought my lunch from them on more than one occasion. And it was good for that. Fortunately for me, I worked on campus, so when I got out of class, I'd make a short detour to where it was parked next to RAWL (one of their stops at the time), and pick up up something to eat. At that time, it tended to be the the grilled cheese and tater tots. Actually, it's hard for me to write anything about their food because they're so good about changing up their menu and having new things. They're really big on creativity and using local ingredients. For example, they got a boatload of millet sometime back and start asking around what people thought they should make from it to sell. Said webpage will also tell you their schedule, menus, and whatnot. Overall, it's typically American comfort food, but I've seen items with the occasional Mexican or Italian or Greek influence. Great prices, fun, and carefully thought out dishes. Prepare yourself to wait for a bit after ordering. Staff are super friendly and open about any questions you have about the food. In general, they tend to be very responsive about feedback and ideas you may have. Mostly though, VIEW THEIR WEBSITE (as provided above). They provide the menu for each event on Facebook, announce special events and where they're going to be on Twitter, and their website (emtfoodtruck.com) has a calendar summarizing where they'll be and what kind of weather that day will be having. Speaking as someone who had dropped by one day without realizing that it was going to rain? This is very convenient. Like a number of noteworthy local restaurants, there are a number of local food trucks that you'll find at pretty much every big local event (festivals and such). This is one of them. If they're in your area, I'd highly recommend you to try it at least once.

The Mac n cheese bites were amazing though! The fries we ordered were ok but it did not have any garlic-pepper seasoning. We actually went out to our car to get salt just to add some flavor to our food. Would try again but choose something else to try.

The quality is good. You place your order as soon as you enter. We were unsure as to how it worked so went to look at the salad bar. It was ok nothing spectacular. They also had soup. All food in this area is weighed and you pay by the ounce. Reminded me of a hospital cafeteria except it was more expensive. I was never sure how much per ounce. A friend had the chicken salad sandwich which was on the most wonderful croissant. Chicken salad is very thickly applied. It was good not over the top but good also we split a coconut cream pie. It was on the heavy side a lot of coconut and not much pudding. I like my coconut cream nice and fluffy. . For a very small salad and the chicken sandwich, it was 39. Dollars a bit much.

    Some of the nicest food service workers I've ever met. Super helpful when selecting a meal. They…read moreovercharged us and came over while we were eating to inform us of the refund. Then the worker came over to check how our food was and if we needed anything else. Highly recommend the BLT or the BBQ Grilled Cheese. If you do the meal, get the parmesan ranch style chips. The portions were great! The interior has a small store and a dining area beside the salad bar. The restroom is small but has a baby changing area if needed.
